Beth yw'r felys garol glywir
Yn sain bêr
yr Angel-gân,
Wedi i eraill hir noswylio
Gan fygeiliaid oedd y gwylio
Yn y maes eu defaid mân?
Ail gydganu sêr y bore,
Ail orfoledd meibion Duw,
Dechrau creadigaeth newydd,
Dechrau gwaith fydd yn dragywydd -
Geni Ceidwad dynol-ryw.
Mawr ogoniant Duw lewyrchodd,
Gan ddisgleirio fel y gwlith;
Duw yn Ddyn a ymgnawdolodd,
Y Disgleirdeb a ddychwelodd
I babellu yn ein plith;
Arswyd lanwodd y bugeiliaid
Yn y Presenoldeb gwiw,
Nes i'r Engyl sactaidd ddatgan
Ystyr lawn y Dwyfol amcan -
Geni Ceidwas dyno-ryw.
Y mae'r garol eto i'w chlywed
Yn Offeren Sïon lân;
Tra bo'i phlant yn isel erfyn,
Mae ei Haberth fry yn esgyn
Yn sain bêr yn Angel-gân;
Gwêl y llewyrch eto'n twynnu
Ar lân Allor Eglwys Grist,
Yno, yn ei rym a'i fawredd,
Yn pelydru ei drugaredd
Ar eneidiau euog trist.
Ar ôl cyffes a gollyngdod
Mynd i wyddfod Iesu wnawn,
Cyffwrdd cwr ei wisg sancteiddlawn,
A thrwy rin
ei Aberth cyfiawn
Nerth ac iechyd yno gawn;
Yno gydag Archangylion,
Engyl a holl Seintiau'r nef,
Y moliannwn a chlodforwn,
Y mawrygwn ac addolwn
Byth ei Enw sanctaidd ef.
T Prichard (Amlwch) 1847-1926
Tonau [87.887.D]: |
What is the sweet carol to be heard
As the mellifluous sound
of the Angel-song,
After others had long retired
While shepherds were watching
In the field their small sheep?
The stars of the morning re-chorusing,
The sons of God re-rejoicing,
A new creation's beginning,
A work beginning which will be in eternity -
The birth of human-kind's Saviour.
The great glory of God shone,
While sparkling like the dew;
God in man has taken on flesh,
The Brightness has returned
To tabernacle in our midst;
Terror flooded the shepherds
In the worthy Presence,
Until the holy Angels declared
The full meaning of the Divine purpose -
The Saviour of human-kind was born.
The carol is still heard
In the divine Office of holy Zion;
While ever her children lowly supplicate,
His Sacrifice is ascending above
As a mellifluous sound in Angel-song;
See the radiance still shining
On the holy Altar of the Church of Christ,
There, in its force and its greatness,
Gleaming his mercy
On sad, guilty souls.
After confession and absolution
Go to the presence of Jesus let us do,
Touch the corner of his fully-holy garment,
And through the merit
of his righteous Sacrifice
Strength and health there let us get;
There with Archangels,
Angels and all the saints of heaven,
We shall praise and acclaim,
We shall magnify and adore
Forever his holy Name.
tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
